"It was definitely unexpected," Gamez' manager, Paul Graham of Empire Sports Management said. The 45-year-old golfer struggled breathing on the weekend. He hasn't played the TOUR full-time since losing his card following the 2008 season. In his only start this season, he missed the cut at Bay Hill, site of his second victory when he eagled the 72nd hole to clip Greg Norman by one stroke. Because he's played sparingly on Past Champion status, we will leave Gamez off our Injury Report. Fri, Jun 27, 2014 12:14:00 AM

Robert Gamez returns to the site of his 1990 Arnold Palmer Invitational win for this year's edition.

To put it into perspective, Gamez made just three starts in 2013 and this marks his first of 2013-14. That is to say he's playing only with Past Champion status. He is the only player to conquer the field at Bay Hill in his first attempt since 1980. He hasn't made the cut here since 2008, so there is virtually no value attached to him in any format.

Robert Gamez has been added to the published field of this week's Reno-Tahoe Open.

The three-time PGA TOUR winner received a sponsor exemption into the field at Montreux. He's 1-for-2 on the PGA TOUR this season with a T65 at Annandale two weeks ago, but perhaps he can rekindle form this week. His only top-45 finish since 2009 was a T5 at the 2010 RTO. Gamez turned 45 years of age last week. Mon, Jul 29, 2013 05:11:00 PM

Robert Gamez is returning to Bay Hill for his 24th Arnold Palmer Invitational.

None have been as rewarding as his first, winning the event in 1990. In fact, success here has been scant since that win, missing 15 cuts in his 23 starts with only one other top 10. His trend is equally concerning, missing the cut in this event every year since 2008. Tue, Mar 19, 2013 09:20:00 PM

(Craig Barlow and Daniel Chopra also withdrew as alternates; they're also in the field on the developmental circuit.) Gamez withdrew 35 holes into last week's Viking when inclement weather suspended play for good on Friday. He wasn't going to make the cut, and is now 2-for-7 on the PGA TOUR this season out of the Past Champions category. NOTE: Kirk Triplett and Steve Lowery also withdrew as alternates in Vancouver.

The veteran completed 35 holes in an aggregate 5-over-par when the horn sounded this afternoon. He had just hit his approach at the par-4 ninth hole to 15'7" and had the chance to bury a third consecutive birdie, but he wasn't going to make the cut, so he called it quits. Today's round already included seven birdies but he was only 1-under due to four bogeys and a double. He suffered five bogeys and two double in his opening 78.
